EPL-A ROUND OFF

Hi,its been long since,I blogged.
I was very busy this past last month,
So unable to post
And in this 1 month a lot a lot has happened
Yes
Top 3 of EPL knocked out of Cl :(
So they all now concentrating only on Epl.
This year Epl tilte race is 1 of the toughest ever.
Said by all pundits and my friends.
With only 3 games to go for the top 3 lets see how the table stands.

TABLE :

Chelsea leading the race with 77 points in 35 games with Gd of 54
United following closely with 76 points in 35 games with Gd of 51.
Arsenal Slightly behind with 71 points in35 games with Gd of 40.

Games to be played-opponents :

Chelsea :
Stoke in home on april 25 sunday
Liverpool in anfield on may 2 Sunday
Finally wigan at home on may 9 Sunday

United :

Spurs at Ot on april 25 Sunday
Sunderland Away on may 2 Sunday
Finally Stoke At OT on may 9 th Sunday

Arsenal :

City at home on april 24 Saturday
Blackburn away on may 3 Monday !
Finally Fulham on may 9 Sunday.

Criteria’s to become champions :

Chelsea have to do nothing but some how win all their 3 games.
If so no problem to become champs after 2005.

United must win all their 3 games and expect Chelsea to lose 1 or atleast draw 1.

Arsenal must win all 3 and also want both the above ones to lose.

Tough battles :

Chelsea have to play Liverpool in anfield which all the world is expecting to be the decider.
Because other two are easy games for Chelsea.
With drogba thinking of resting for the world cup and the owner telling their players to prove their money deal worth its now a nervous situation in their dressing room.
So if there is any loss of points it could cost them the title.

United play spurs who are on a great winning roll.
They have beaten arsenal and Chelsea in consecutive weeks and are strong.
Other two are marginal and utd will overcome it.

Arsenal play city who are a very strong contenders for the 4 th spot.
Its really a big game for both.
It may decide the title for arsenal and 4 th spot for city.

So its really a very tough work to predict the winners.
I expect utd to overcome spurs and win the title because its been played at Ot.

Also beating pool in anfield is not an easy task for Chelsea.

And arsenal will have to win all and hope utd,Chelsea lose.

EURO RACE :

While the title race is in this status the 4 th place race is even tougher.
City pool villa spurs all are fighting for it.
City and spurs are looking strong contenders as they are just 2 points clear of each other.
Arsenal vs city and united vs spurs will almost decide the 4th spot.
After some 5 years the top 4 is going to change.

RELEGATION BATTLE

As ever year this year this battle is joggling all around.

Hull with 28,burnley 27 and westham 31 are fighting against this,while ports mouth already out.

I AM BACK :

Yes this is the diagogue of most newcastlers now as they are now the champs of division 1 and also they now play EPL after 1 year.

So an exciting last 15 days of EPL action coming up.
Hope this is a compact post.

NJOY!!!!!!!!

I tried my best to bring out all in this post on current epl happenings..
I will be happy to receive your comments and also predictions of the results.

I hope you wont dissapoint me.

Chelsea get the Blues: How west Londoners keep losing to teams wearing blue:BLUE CURSE

Wearing blue they have impressed; against it they've struggled consistently

Mere coincidence, or something more problematic? Either way, this season Chelsea have had real problems in dealing with teams that play in blue, something that has already affected their season on a number of decisive occasions.

Looking at the evidence below, it is hard not to believe that the colour John Terry and co. wear at Stamford Bridge becomes some sort of kryptonite when worn by the opposing side:

How it began: Arguably the warning signs were there in pre-season, as Carlo Ancelotti's side struggled to beat Championship side Reading, who raced into a 2-0 lead at the Madejski Stadium before a Salomon Kalou strike and a late own goal ensured Chelsea avoided an embarrassing defeat, albeit in a friendly.

But the foundation had been laid, and the curse would strike next time the side played a team in blue:

Sep 26, Wigan Athletic (a), lost 3-1: After reeling off eight wins in a row to start the season, Chelsea headed for the DW Stadium full of confidence. But a fine performance from forward Hugo Rodallega — coupled with Petr Cech's sending off — consigned the Blues to a highly surprising 3-1 defeat (both Arsenal and Manchester United had already thrashed the Latics).

Oct 17, Aston Villa (a), lost 2-1: Admittedly a tenuous link, but the blue trim around Aston Villa's kit must have caused problems for Chelsea's players who, having returned to winning ways after that Wigan defeat, were brutally exposed at set-pieces with two goals from defenders Richard Dunne and James Collins.

Dec 2, (League Cup) Blackburn Rovers (a), drew 3-3 (lost 4-3 on penalties): After eight wins in nine games since that defeat at Villa Park, including a 5-0 home win against Sam Allardyce's side, Ancelotti's men headed to Ewood Park and were knocked out of the League Cup, even after Didier Drogba had been thrown on to pursue victory and Paulo Ferreira had sent the game to penalties with a last-ditch extra-time equaliser.

Dec 5, Manchester City (a), lost 2-1: After defeat by Blackburn, Chelsea headed to Eastlands for a tough game where a Carlos Tevez-inspired City scraped a 2-1 win, thanks to a good slice of luck and a late Frank Lampard penalty miss. City would later do the double over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in February.

Feb 10, Everton (a), lost 2-1: John Terry, usually so reliable as the club's captain, committed two important individual errors to allow Louis Saha in for two goals that propelled David Moyes' side to a memorable victory, and let Manchester United decisively back into the title race.

Feb 24, Inter Milan (a), lost 2-1: Diego Milito caught Chelsea cold with a third minute opener in this vital Champions League clash, before Salomon Kalou's second half equaliser got Chelsea back on level times. Then Esteban Cambiasso notched what turned out to be the winner, leaving the Blues to regret the referee's decision not to award what looked a clear-cut first-half penalty for their side.

Further evidence: Chelsea haven't lost to every team who have lined up against them in blue this season, but they have never put in a convincing performance. Other dubious results include at St. Andrew's (Dec 26), where Birmingham City were denied a victory only after some last-ditch Chelsea defending in a 0-0 draw.

Porto (Nov 26) were slightly unlucky to lose 1-0 at Estadio do Dragao in their Champions League game, a result that looks better or worse in light of Arsenal's travails depending on your opinion.

Burnley's similar kit to Aston Villa (perhaps) helped them to an impressive performance against Chelsea at Turf Moor (Jan 30), where they looked on course to grab a surprising 1-1 draw until John Terry popped up with a late winner in a game his side were expected to dominate. West Ham used the same principle to help themselves to a 1-1 draw at Upton Park in December.

Overall record: Played 10, lost six, drawn two, won two.

Taking advantage Milito wasted no time in putting Inter ahead

Still to come: Fortunately for Chelsea the rest of their Champions League campaign should not be unduly affected by opposing blue kits. Jose Mourinho's Inter will not play in blue on Tuesday night — their away strip, like Chelsea's, is predominantly white — and if the Blues progress there is no other side in the competition that feature blue prominently on their home kit.

In the league it is a different matter, however, with otherwise straightforward looking away trips later this month to Blackburn (Mar 21) and Portsmouth (Mar 24) suddenly becoming a lot harder in light of this season's problems.

Chelsea will likely have to beat both of them if they want to win the Premier League — so those would be two great games for them to finally break this 'blue kit curse'.

LET THIS BLUE CURSE CONTINUE TILL THE END OF THIS SEASON SO THAT WE CAN WIN THE TITLE..

HERE HISTORY MEANS UTD KNOCKING OUT MILAN IN UCL;WELCOME HOME BECKHAM;TATA BYE BYE MILAN

When Beckham Entered the pitch yesterday,milan were almost out of CL..

He came in at 63 mins and the score sheet read 3-0..

But still he tried hard to do something for milan which included a typical beckham volley which went straight to vds..

LINE UP :

VDS,NEVILLE,RIO,VIDIC,EVRA,FLETCHER,PARK,SCHOLES,VALENCIA,NANI,ROONEY

GOAL ; 1
As we all wanted Rooney opened the scoring at th 13 th minute itself..A fine cross by neville which came flying perfectly to Rooneys head was headed marvellously by the world's best striker to give the world's most loved club a fantastic 1-0 lead..

IT WAS 1-0 AT HALF TIME

GOAL : 2
2 mins from the start of the second half NANI countered the ball with ROONEY along side him and a fine pass to roo;s feet which was more than enough for him who just easily glided it past the sliding milan keeper..2-0 at 47..

In the 57 th minute pirlo had a good chance to score but it ..

GOAL 3 : in the 59 th minute scholes and park combined to kill milan's hopes..
it seemed scholes will go for it but he sent in a pass which went through two milan defenders to park who finished it as perfect as 1 can..

In the 75 th minute becks volley went straight to vds and that was the end of milan..

United beat milan gloriously to enter the quaters of the Cl..

Becks feels united can go on to WIN IT..
we too !!!

The quater final draw is on 17 th and am waiting for it..

I am posting this late cos of my work here..
annual day coll day etc..
so just missing the usual excitement ..
will keep it on in the upcoming days..

GLORY GLORY MANCHESTER UNITED :) :) :):)

BECKS RETURN,FIT ROONEY,FAN PROTEST,NO PATO,UTD LEADING,WHATS GONNA HAPPEN TONIGHT ? A PREVIEW

The most awaited day is here..
Yes..

IS BECKS WHO IS RETURNING TO OT TO PLAY TODAY AGAINST UTD GONNA MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE ?

HERE IS A PREVIEW :

Manchester United Take on Ac Milan in the second leg of the final 16 in CL today at OT..

There are a lots of things that are going to happen today ..

I am gonna list a few here..

1.ROONEY IS FIT :)

Any red devil in this world will jump in joy after hearing this..

I did too..Around 8 pm yesterday night when i was waiting fo the start of sports center I got that sms from NIBUL WHICH RED -ROONEY FIT..

And what else you need ?

I just hugged my doggie which was sitting near me waving its tails ..

Hurrayyy..

We all know he can change a games result and i think he will take us to the next round today for sure..

2.TWINS IN ACTION :

OUR defending twins RIO AND VIDIC both are fit and they are ready to face ronaldinho today..

With united already leading in Aggregates i think these two wont allow the lead to be levelled..

3.NO BROWN :(

As these two Rio and Vidic got fit,brown suffered a injury and is out for minimum 6 weeks according to our GOD SAF..

If he would have been fit playing then it would heve been a great Defensive line..

4.BECKS RETURNS TO OT :

Many of my co-red devils still say i cant see BECKHAM playing in a different jersey than UNITED..

That much impact he has with red devils..

My fella SREE mentioned when the first leg kicked off to me that My body shivers when i see becks play against us ..

I dont know how we are going to accept Becks playing in OT but not for UTD but for the opponents ..

Till kick off becks is our old friend and inside the pitch he is our opponent..

thats it..

BECKHAM PLAYING IN OT BUT NOT FOR UNITED BUT FOR ITS OPPONENTS IN A DIFFERENT JERSEY..

CANT IMAGINE..
BUT TO BE SEEN TODAY..

Saf says he may not start since he has not till now from the first leg in their club matches..

Any way we cant be without welcoming our old hero..

WELCOME TO OT BECKS..

5.NO PATO ???

Alexandre Pato is fighting with injury.
The Brazilian is a major doubt after pulling a thigh muscle 10 days ago, but is in the squad travelling to Old Trafford.
“I don't want to be the kind of director who gives the line-up the day before, but I think Pato is unlikely to make it,” confessed Milan chief Adriano Galliani.
“In that case I think that Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Marco Borriello and Ronaldinho will play.”

6.FAN PROTEST :

Around 10000 red devils who have bought their tickets for this exciting match are not going to watch the kick off of this match..

They are gonna protest agianst our owners THE GLAZERS for leading the cluib into a HUGE DEBTS..

There will be empty seats in OT which will make the whole world ask the question why ? which those fans feel will make the glazers think..

They are going to stand outside the OT with banners against the GLAZERS..

Its really tough to beat UNITED at OT..Especially with a score sheet of 3-2..

But becks and ronaldinho say its TOUGH but its not IMPOSSIBLE!!!

GOAL .COM POLL RESULTS :

Who Will Progress To The Champions League Quarter-Finals?

AC Milan-49.06%
Manchester United-50.94%

I feel we will star with this line up :

Van der Sar; Neville, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra; Valencia, Scholes, Fletcher, Park; Rooney, Berbatov.

May be nani or park can come in for scholes..

I CANT WAIT FOR THE KICK-OFF.. I TRULY CANT..

1 MORE DEFENDER ?

MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed to sign Belgian starlet Marnick Vermijl from STANDARS LIEGE,according to the player's father.

The 18-year-old has impressed both Sir Alex Ferguson and reserve team boss Ole Gunner Solskjaer whilst on trial at Old Trafford.

United have handed the wing-back a three-year contract with Standard Liege receiving around €300,000 in compensation and will move to Old Trafford in the summer.

"They said he was the best right or left-back they had seen in years," Vemijl's father Dirk told Het Laatste Nieuws.

"Ferguson told me that Marnick in the following years would become a fixture in the Manchester United squad."

AGE : 18
NATIONALITY : BULGARIAN

WEMBLEY KILLED ROONEY

We all know who rooney is and what change he can do to the result of a game..

Now Rooney is a major doubt for us against the visiting Ac milan here to OT on wednesday..



The wembley pitch which is to be re-laid for the tenth time is not going to do anything for United as it has already caused swelling of roonies knees when he played for England against egypt ..



With Michael Owen out for the season with a hamstring injury, Danny Welbeck out on loan at Preston and Federico Macheda only just returning from a lengthy spell out, Ferguson could be left with only Dimitar Berbatov and Mame Biram Diouf to take on Milan.



We are leading the tie and its a graet advantage that we are going to play at OT..

It is a fantastic chance for us to cruise to the next round..



Lets hope ROO gets his fitness back and plays wednesday..



Failing so Berba will have a huge responsibilty on his shoulders..
